Ultimate St3R - who bought it?

[Dickie2679]

I was in my local dealer today & there was a white street triple R, with a sold sign on it, apparently it was previously owned by a Triumph designer/engineer, who had it built to his own spec.
The dealer showed me a copy of a dyno graph, with the standard StR & daytona power curves, this StR was making much more than a daytona. It also had the race hose set & arrow rear sets, one nice bike! - who bought it?

Did you take a photo by any chance would like to see the race hose set or did you get the make of them,Would fancy that for my own bike.

Sorry I did not get a photo, the bike may still be in the showroom? (Pidcocks - Long Eaton, Notts) The hoses were the ones listed for the Daytona race kit & were blue, they look good on a white bike, but may look odd on my green one.

I wonder what he did to the engine to get such a increase in power? race kit parts maybe?

if only you had pics

I may go in on Monday as they have some boots on offer, I'll get a photo if it is still there

Can they scan the Dyno specs as well? The dealership should want to do this to sell the parts used to make the power on that bike.

I'm not sure they know what has been done to the engine as it was built as a 'special' for a Triumph engineer. It must be good to be able to select what parts go into your bike as it is built?

Too bad I don't live in the UK and/or have lots of money.

If you want to know how to build a bike like this a good place to start would be at hordpower.com. The guy has a Daytona and builds it for racing.

If I had a lot of money I would start by swapping the cams and getting and adjustable cam sprocket from Hord. Then I'd have the exhaust ports milled out and put the racing header and an open low muffler. Then with some dyno tuning you should be pushing more then a stock Daytona.
